Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.
-Paulo Coelho
Quotations
Suffering
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
-Alan Watts
It is the law of nature that when adversity strikes, nature invariably provides
us with the strength to endure that pain. Look for yourself, we are not that
disheartened with the pains of present...but are worried sick about the pains to
come in future.
-Deep Trivedi
To have become a deeper man is the privilege of those who have suffered.
-Oscar Wilde
The word ‘happiness’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
-Carl Gustav Jung
We are never so defenceless against suffering as when we love.
-Sigmund Freud
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
-Anonymous
God had one son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
If we stop considering ourselves special on the level of physicalities, half our
sorrows will disappear by themselves. From sickness to death, events to
accidents; what happens to others, can always happen to us and our beloved
ones too... Then what's the point in grieving about them for so long?
-Deep Trivedi
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
-Helen Keller
